Top books about France

I just wrapped reading “The Nightingale” by the wonderful and prolific Kristin Hannah, and while it’s a tragic, beautiful, heavy, immense read set in France during World War II, it also made me long for the beauty and wonder of all things French. (I think it’s time to book an adventure out of the country!) I studied abroad in Paris, and simply j’adore all things French. The style, the architecture, the history, the food, the concept of flaneur …. that is, the aimless wandering around a beautiful city …. It’s all a delight. In honor of my Francophile obsession, I compiled some of my other favorite French books, here noted: The President’s Hat, by Antoine Laurain (previously reviewed!); My Life in France, by Julia Child (a food book + French book = double awesome); All the Light We Cannot See- *yes*, it’s also a war book, but oh so beautiful, by Anthony Doerr (also just reviewed: Cloud Cuckoo Land, and these two books are v different and showcase his immense breadth of knowledge and style); and a celebration of The Seine: The River that Made Paris, by Elaine Sciolino. I’ll take my baguette and wine now, s’il vous plait. What other books about France do you love? Share below and rec ‘em!
